National Veterans and Military Families Month at Giant Eagle

This November, we celebrate both National Veterans and Military Families Month and Veterans Day (Nov. 11). It is a time to honor and thank current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces who have paid tribute to our country through the highest acts of service. We also recognize the families and loved ones of our service members for the sacrifices they have made in support of our Nation’s heroes. We owe our gratitude, respect, and freedom to these members of the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy for the tremendous sacrifices they and their families have made on the battlefield and at home.

Giant Eagle is privileged to have hundreds of Veteran Team Members working within our stores, Retail Support Centers (RSC), and offices. Our Veteran Team Members continue to serve their local communities by helping Giant Eagle provide life’s essentials so that our neighbors have the opportunity to thrive.
